Haiku tournament sign ups!!!!!!!!!!!
IP:
Alright we have decided to expand the boundaries of poetry for this tournament. Straying from the typical poetic piece we decided to use a unique style of writing called a Haiku. Below i have given some good examples of Haiku's...
We realize that this may take some practice for some of you. im keeping the sign ups open for 2 weeks from today.This should give you plenty of time to practice..Good luck and if you need further help on this get intouch with either myself or Varantao... Haiku consists of 3 lines (well, the format we're gonna start off with. But usually it's all about having 17 syllables, no matter how many lines). 1st line - 5 syllables 2nd line - 7 syllables 3rd line - 5 syllables We might ammend the syllable structure. Maybe add a line or two. Though that'd stop it being a Haiku. It'd remain with the same 'jist' of things. Though the final shall be a seventeen syllable Haiku (might make it two Haikus for each..dunno yet..but it'll be the normal Haiku format..).. Tree like wise and strong (Tree is one syllable, so is strong and so is wise...one sound...) Leafs fall graceful with each word (leafs is one sound one syllable, but graceful is two syllables, grace is one ful is the other..) On tramp she shelters (tramp is one, she is one, shelters is two..) Sorry if that sound a bit patronising. But thought i'd make sure. SIGN UP NOW!!!!!!!!!

^Tis the point, D NFamous. Simple. Yet how ingenius can you make yours? For it takes something extra (or not, some just ooze it naturally) to make a Haiku resound in so many layers...yet so few words and suhc a rigid structure of syllables.

^I thought they were possible topics people could practice on. And therefore wasn't mean tto delete them.
Mind posting them up again? Didn't read them as Haikus you see. Cos they were done in a different way to the one layed down.. |

Atra Ludio or Hip-Hop?

The secret to haikus is to write a bunch of meaningless words and have people THINK you're really really deep and mysterious with your writing...
...or that it was originally a japanese form of art and the nips word for "cute" is kawaii, which is four syllables. So it's difficult to write a lot with such a cumbersome language. Sign me up. I like having really really deap and mysterious looking writing. |
